Safer Streets with Solar Lights in Haiti
Haiti benefits from abundant sunlight all through the year, yet it is still very dependent on imported fossil fuels which are expensive and bring pollution and health problems to local communities. In 2023, the Haiti Climate Network in partnership with 350.org organized a workshop to provide training to over 60 young activists in Port-au-Prince. Following the workshop, they applied the skills they learned to install a solar-powered street light in a part of the city that was previously unsafe to walk at night. The activity helped to ensure safer communities through access to sustainable electricity.
